Underworld: Blood Wars

Kate Beckinsale makes a great action hero of any sex in Underworld:
Blood Wars, but Director Anna Foerster, unfortunately, does not know
how to orchestrate battle scenes that make sense.

Dealing with characters that are up to nearly a thousand
years old, you might think they knew something about battle tactics, but Anna
and Writer Cory Goodman put them into laughably stupid situations that take one
beyond any suspension of disbelief and ruin the work of the worthy cast and
crew. To be clear, it’s not that the battle scenes are not good, but that the
characters got into such stupid situations in the first place.

Oh, well…the ending leaves an opening for another in the
series …hopefully managed by a better production team.

About Me

Brian Porzak: I am a cinephile who likes to view films with a live audience. My taste runs the gamut, including indies, studio films, foreign films and most all genres. Because I see so many films, friends often ask me what to see. So, I thought I'd blog about what is worth seeing or not. As a writer/filmmaker myself, I hope to give a more uplifting perspective than the typical critic. Filmmaking is tremendously difficult. Just because some problems might exist in a particular work does not, necessarily, destroy its enjoyability and I think that is necessary to point out to would-be viewers.
